This direct link to the paper is probably a better URL: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/archive/6.097/readings/journal-so... Another good resource on this topic is this lwn article, which is both an accessible int

The Unwritten Laws of Engineering by WJ King is a great book on the people-skills side of engineering and management. At ~60 pages it’s also mercifully short and to the point.

Twitter has been having actual issues. I have routinely been seeing “this tweet is unavailable,” and have to refresh once or twice to get the tweet to load. The old Twitter kept on top of those kinds of issues because having a reliable app

John Carreyrou’s bombshell article about Theranos came out in 2015, and Elizabeth Holmes wasn’t indicted until 2018. The gears of justice grind slowly, but they grind fine.

I believe what they’re saying is that Elon Musk is a free speech loudmouth, and he fired the author for being a “jester” and/or saying things Elon didn’t like. (Not endorsing this view since I doubt Elon was directly involved in the fi

Their legal team has reportedly had some issues of late: “At least a dozen company lawyers have left their posts this year, according to three people familiar with Tesla’s operations. They include some attorneys who worked in business units

Interesting, could you explain more about the clinical markings? Was this mentioned in the paper itself or was it later commentary?

In this case it’s not a lawn but is still against city code. I was responding to parent’s comment by pointing out that it is standard to prohibit parking on one’s own property in many cases

Most places don’t let you park cars on your lawn. But more to the point, why should paying property taxes make you exempt from all laws?

Oh wow, interesting. That’s much less expensive than I would have guessed.

It builds on the technology behind laser microphones. According to the paper, visual vibrometry has historically required expensive cameras, and their method removes this need and appears to have other advantages over using a high-speed ca

I used fish for a long time, but lost patience with the incompatibility with other shells. It’s nice to be able to just paste and run someone else’s command, and I eventually tired of having to rewrite every command to use fish syntax. For

I’m skeptical that this reorg will allow Ford to sell direct to consumers, and I haven’t seen any reporting saying that it will. Notably, Ford has explicitly said they’re not doing that: “We’re not keeping dealers in the mix 'for the m

My interpretation is informed by the knowledge that what he’s saying is not legal in most of the United States. It’s understood that dealers cut into Ford’s profit margin, but Ford is not at liberty to change the laws in numerous states.

I just think it’s an off-the-cuff comment and he probably didn’t mean it. He’s not announcing a new change in the way they do business. My read is that he’s generally saying he wants Ford to be more like Tesla. It’s not clear if any of his

This article takes an off-the-cuff comment from the CEO of Ford and reads too much into it IMO. He wasn’t saying dealerships are going away; he was actually saying the opposite. The point he was making was that Ford is going to adopt some o

Interesting that they both founded cryptocurrencies. It’s not surprising that academic success is uncorrelated with being able to run a good Ponzi scheme. Bernie Madoff was extremely successful in his time, but he wasn’t a prodigy either.

The element of luck is canceled out. If you get a great hand, it doesn’t matter, because your opponent at the other table has the exact same hand. We could quibble about whether this means there’s zero luck or merely a very small amount of

He didn’t just call him a pedo guy. Elon also emailed a bunch of journalists to make serious (and untrue) accusations that the guy was a “child rapist.”

USD is fundamentally different from cryptocurrency. For one thing, there will always be demand for USD because Americans have to pay taxes in dollars. If you’re an American and you make $X in a year, you have to buy ~1/3 of that in USD

This is such a good response. Rather than shutting everything down and walking out, which could itself be perceived as rude/arrogant, you allude to what you’re perceiving and start a conversation about it while assuming good intent on

The linked thread by yishan pretty convincingly argues that this is impossible. Among other reasons, if all legal speech is allowed, Twitter will become overrun with spam and users will flee.
